On Wednesday Hammarby came out of the Europa League qualifier at home against Lech Poznan. It ended up being a 3-0 loss. First, Kalle Björklund made a mistake that made the Polish team 1-0 in the 55th minute and then Bajen’s team captain Jeppe Andersen was sent off after just over an hour of play. The Dane received his second yellow card after his hand was raised in the face of a Poznan player.
– It is clear that when they expel you so soon, it becomes very heavy. I think we tried after and kept it decent before 2-0. So it’s a curtain. It’s important to have margins and we didn’t have them, says coach Stefan Billborn.
Billborn is disappointed with the second yellow card Andersen received.
– I’ve seen the situation afterwards and I don’t even think it’s a free kick. That is my image.
– “Jeppe” had the ball and didn’t even make a move towards it and then lay down … I don’t have to worry about that, people see it (it’s not a yellow card). Just watch the clip.
He continues:
– It’s heavy. I would rather have gone out to shoot at the crossroads too.
– And I’m really sorry for “Jeppe”. It is difficult to mount it. He has the feeling that he has brought the whole team down and has not even done anything. There will be double punishment.
How do you feel about such an expulsion in this particular match?
– You know the answer to that question … You don’t want to get a red card like that. It’s a good team that we met. It’s heavy. I think we did a good job. We gave Poznan 1-0 and then went on to send off. Of course then it will be very difficult.
Otherwise, it says the following about the match:
– I think we did a good first part. We should have scored a goal with the opportunities we had then. And we had a good high defensive game. Despite a worse ending to the first half, we felt at halftime that we had some pieces that we could do even better.
– Then we let in a bloody brat goal, but we scratched our heads after that Then we move on to expulsion.
Alexander Kacaniklic from Hammarby on the expulsion:
– It looked strange. If he (the referee) gives a second yellow there, when he has the ball, then it must be an intentional elbow. Then it should be something real.
